Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm Hank Shiffman, your host
on this particular odyssey.
Here you'll discover why I'm the most interesting person you're ever likely
to know, or at least the most interesting person on this page: reader,
writer, music and theatre buff, cartoon enthusiast, Mac advocate,
world traveler, Scaper; it's all here or at least should
be. So sit back, relax and spend a few minutes trying to make sense of
a stream of consciousness, HTML-style.

On the left you see me disguised as a professional. The suit and
the designer tie are protective
coloration, pulled out for those rare occasions when jeans and an Animaniacs shirt just won't do. This
picture, taken while I was at Sun
Microsystems, was used for conference programs, magazine articles
and the like. It made its last appearance in the November 14, 1994 issue of InformationWeek,
after I moved on to Borland. The
image on the right reflects my time at
Silicon Graphics, which had a more
relaxed view of the proper image for Marketing professionals. Or even
for people like me.
